Two more players from Chelsea’s ‘bomb squad’ are reportedly on the verge of leaving the club as Enzo Maresca continues his ruthless clearout. It’s been another busy summer of incomings and outgoings at Stamford Bridge which looks set to get even more frantic in the last few days of the transfer window. Chelsea are in the process of trying to sell off 14 unwanted stars, dubbed the ‘bomb squad’, all of whom have been brutally exiled from first-team training by Maresca. Great progress has been made in the sales of big-money flops Kepa Arrizabalaga and Romelu Lukaku, who look set to join Bournemouth and Napoli, respectively. #footballfanarena #ffa #chelsea #trending #transferwindow #napoli #romelulukaku #enzomaresca #bournemouth #football

Chelsea and Real Madrid are negotiating a swap deal for goalkeepers Andriy Lunin and Kepa Arrizabalaga, according to reports in Spain. Ukraine international Lunin served as Real’s no1 for most of the 2023-24 season but lost his place in the side following Thibaut Courtois’ return from injury – benched for the Champions League final victory over Borussia Dortmund. Lunin was thought to be close to signing a deal long-term deal in the Spanish capital. But with Los Blancos unable to offer him any guarantees over first-team football, a move is being considered. If Real are to allow Lunin to leave, they will bring in a replacement with Kepa their first choice to fill that role as Courtois’ understudy after his loan spell last season. #footballfanarena #ffa #chelsea #realmadrid #andriylunin #kepa

Chelsea's preseason tour kicks off with a jaw-dropping 43 players left behind! With £190 million in talent sitting out, the club's clearout is explosive. High-profile absentees include Lukaku, Kepa, and Chalobah, all likely to be offloaded. Enzo Maresca's squad is shrinking as Chelsea targets a massive roster overhaul, raising the stakes for their future. #trend #footballfansarena2024 #footballfanarena #ffa

Chelsea have been warned a player they are planning to sell this summer will become ‘one of the best strikers in Europe’. While Todd Boehly has already shown he is intent on bolstering the Stamford Bridge squad during this summer’s transfer window – bringing in the likes of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Tosin Adarabioyo and Omari Kellyman – he is also working on a number of outgoings. Chelsea have sold Ian Maatsen, Lewis Hall, Omari Hutchinson and Hakim Ziyech so far this summer, while they are open to offers for Romelu Lukaku, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Conor Gallagher and Trevoh Chalobah. The Blues are also hoping to offload Armando Broja but the President of the Albanian Football Association believes this would be a mistake, backing him to develop into one of the top strikers in Europe over the next few seasons. #footballfanarena #ffa #chelsea
